Pros

Relatively easy job, lots to keep you busy and moving if you hate a stationary job. Easy to keep moving up from this role. The right team will make this your favourite role! Perfect job if you enjoy being the solution for everyday problems (just get your pay's worth).

Cons

Far too many hats, as Michaels tends to understaff. Can be a real slog with lack of support for training and followup coachings for cashiers. Hard to recommend this job long-term due to typically low entry pay, and pay gaps in similar management roles caused by company decisions over the last half decade or so.

Pros

Easy work, basic retail stuff. Friendly coworkers.

Cons

Couldn't continue working here as they locked me into a schedule during school hours (I was in HS) after three weeks of not scheduling me at all. This was my first job at 16.
